Members webe123 Posted February 20, 2022 Members Share Posted February 20, 2022 I know the pandemic has left us with higher prices due to a chip shortage...but GOOD GRIEF! I was looking at a used Axe Fx 3 on ebay in the USA...selling for over FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS! That is the axe fx 3 and a FRC 6 foot controller.https://www.ebay.com/itm/275154311051?hash=item401079978b:g:rKoAAOSwoR9h~Zga Now I know prices are higher because of the pandemic... but that to me is insane! I would rather order a brand new one from fractal for $2,200! They also have one that would come from Japan for over SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS!https://www.ebay.com/itm/144401140143?_trkparms=ispr=1&hash=item219efa89af:g:bwcAAOSweXdiAHPu&amdata=enc:AQAGAAACkPYe5NmHp%2B2JMhMi7yxGiTJkPrKr5t53CooMSQt2orsS9d9gBrkNbRQtRn8MVXnYknL5Q4hCfPkxQCmX83bE9GfODNikVksXEHpuXU2VM3jSAPWd8%2BULaBTCrrEzsA6Xuzr2VWsjmphP794e6sGLDuV%2F9GD2%2FrXpIBXmDECvAN3urE4F5ghHcwqXaEw8hCmRL9gISYa46QTlHz5H9MX9E1AA%2BQpJcuo4fRZ5CzgHIylDrsxbxScviTkST2kRFEySHoMXa8lF7Ug%2F%2BrC04QSHhFMVC%2BJM8RFZFUVUaK58Cgswvzayivu3Rj9CUaWwUFPo3LlIrBxe3uC5x43AwUA3V5V5Kf7rPgP1TrU8MD8K4rC9cAddyONc8RMYjJ%2BRZQTmqlWuMeCdNPdMPwCdCcLNA7RglAS5lfgh1R6Y3TiK7jap1xHqWIrgjKGw40xUxHgFGdGCSMJtCqb%2F0QtVYyy%2BfHn3foLkQzptwpgcX40m%2Bchipve5PyopjLgC57FxuROhqJsAA9T%2Fzqx%2BsV1Gchjsrn1ow85UpyDaC4ha9hoWwbvVJhCu3i3wMYnEl2JusdFh7VigdML9unWR88XRQUmy93%2BoBqksFP6sTOLQFg7%2FKUvcusBP2X3AzFdeW2kYL04IOiPef75yEFkFSuW14t%2BwYPdqNR0P0R5u86Pu%2B3KiWia%2BEOP4iBQYnhyjRD1zPuWgzhHSLirlQV3bRhHP597Re6i%2FpCv546SFFHRwPPO%2Frn9CMsmLbSEQOgt%2FvNkbNVKl0i5QcK0bAdenIdx2nonxqPNzKl%2FR3WDz3z%2F1FeVzXlIcTRUwLJQ83o7zyZo2NvkWki2BGfE5KuxWwADKlSbaCL7%2BZ%2FDGx7IaBVbTUU%2BOuGS5|clp:2334524|tkp:BFBMyqf00eJf Call me crazy but I just do not get these prices! They are better on Reverb.com but not that much better. And a lot of the ones for sale are the Mark 1 models which have only half the memory of the mark 2 models! I would be afraid to ask what a Axe Fx 3 TURBO model would go for! I WISH we could get prices back to a pre-pandemic normal....but I do not know when (or IF) that will ever happen.

Give me a break! No , I’m saying that the government going on a spending spree and printing more and more money devalued the dollar. The more money in circulation the more inflation. Look at the cost of everything. Have you been car shopping lately? Or house shopping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Current inflation is a result of market shortages [like new cars], much of which is due to the pandemic. Demand is the same, supply is short, prices go up, inflation. Housing is a similar process, but almost totally domestic cost fed, and there is ALWAYS a shortage of housing in America*. After 2008, when the housing market went into a tailspin, after a decade of frenzied buying, prices of houses barely dipped, and by 2012, they were moving upward again. Don't blame the Feds ability to print money for this situation. *that said, the cost of housing where people don't really want to live is pretty much stagnant. You can buy a 4bdrm house in Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, Indiana, Michigan, Kansas, etc. for under 200k. You can't buy a 1 bdrm condo in California for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 1001gear Posted February 26, 2022 Members Share Posted February 26, 2022 Good thing I have no use for new gitter stuff or porsches or DDR5 sticks. Crucial or somebody had to chuck an acre of SSD memory. Contamination they said. Safeway markets are out of bagels of all things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at the market late this morning. Lots of shelves were not as packed as the once were. The Pasta aisle was pretty thin. Marinara sauces, very thin. Good things the Ketchup shelf was full. I be eating good in the hood tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the demerit as well Ok, freighter with thousands of high end cars bound for the states, catches fire. They let it burn out. NAND foundry contaminates Crucial or Micron (forget) whole nand inventory. This is on top of an ongoing chip {censored}tage. Eng Muffs are wonderful but don't come in sinnymons raising and booblerry. I eat with plain peanut butter incidentally. This is all fuel for what I call apex investors to keep it high for themselves. This works so well it has to be deliberate.

I think the Gibson was a Mojotone built amp, with a Gibson Badge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
